I thought everyone whose head isn't so far up their ass they need to open their mouths to see where they are going already knew that this was an inside job. You're preaching to the choir Sugarpop. Those who think the boogey man under the bed did this wouldn't believe it if the perps came clean on national TV.

Don't forget the Japanese soldiers who kept it up for decades after the war because they couldn't wrap their heads around the idea that Japan would ever surrender.

De Nile ain't just a river in Africa.

I posted it because some people kept saying all of this stuff was speculation and coming from people who were just trying to make trouble and play partisan politics. More will be revealed as more documents are released, but this is bad, and SHOULD wake some people out of their sleep.

Which is why America also needed Nixon tapes released years and decades later. It is important to keep noting those who will not believe no matter how accurate the facts. If not done long enough, then 30 plus years later, another president will lie again. What was called Nam then became "Mission Accomplished". How will we repeat Guantanamo, Abu Ghriad, and maybe six secret torture chambers throughout the world? If we don't constantly note facts so that extremists will routinely deny them, then 30 years from now, America will simply create another war based upon lies and overtly disregard the US Constitution.

It is important to keep posting historical facts so that extremists among us constantly deny them. That is how a most important lesson is learned. Important is to demonstrate even years later what reality was and what extremists still deny despite those facts.

Another lesson that should always be discussed: every engineer said to not launch Challenger. Not even one engineer said it was safe. So the ignorant launched anyway - then called it an accident. Today many extremists still call that murder an accident. Another lesson from history that deserves repeating, only because so many routinely deny facts and call it an accident.

Best way to learn is to preach to the choir and all others so that all can see what extremists do to deny those facts.

Some still preach Kennedy tax cuts as economic stimulus when facts repeatedly said otherwise. Another example of preaching when the obvious says tax cuts have long term negative results.
